LOS ANGELES, CA. (July 7, 2010) – Share the memories and the merriment when the hilarious and heart-warming The Mary Tyler Moore Show: The Complete Seventh Season arrives on DVD October 5 from Twentieth Century Fox Home Entertainment. From the love and laughter of Mary’s uproarious dinner parties to the chaos and camaraderie of the WJM-TV newsroom, “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” will always be remembered as one of the best-and best loved-shows of all time. Created by James L. Brooks (As Good As It Gets) and starring Mary Tyler Moore (The Dick Van Dyke Show), Ed Asner (Up), Betty White (The Golden Girls), Valerie Harper (Rhoda), Ted Knight (Caddyshack) and Gavin MacLeod (The Love Boat), the venerated series consistently ranked among television’s top-rated programs during its distinguished seven-year run.

The final season of the enduring classic includes such series milestones as the birth of Ted and Georgette’s baby, Murray’s tenure as a producer, Mary’s date with Lou, and the show’s bittersweet final episode, where the gang bids one last farewell to WJM-TV and each other. Winner of 29 Emmy Awards, including three for Outstanding Comedy Series, and three Golden Globe Awards, the beloved show made television history by depicting a strong and independent woman fighting to make a place for herself in a man’s world and gave rise to some of television’s most memorable characters. Featuring 24 episodes, the collectible three-disc set also includes the never-before-available and fan-requested ‘Final Curtain Call’, which aired only once on March 19, 1977.
